Basic Details You Should Know When Sending Funeral Memorial Cards

If you need to send a note of sympathy to a bereaved family, it is good to know that you can do this in a number of ways. Funeral cards can be given with flowers or by themselves. In this digital age, it is not uncommon to send a letter of sympathy via email.

You can get them at bookstores or you may also write your own. A handwritten note can be a special offering during a sad time like this. If you do not have legible handwriting, consider convenient alternatives such as by getting a card that contains a pre-printed condolence note that you can just sign.

It is common practice in many countries to send a letter of sympathy to the bereaved family when someone dies. You can offer a written message whether you go to the memorial service or not. It is also alright to mail the note before or right after the dead is buried.

In response to your note of sympathy, the family of the deceased is also expected to send thank you notes to those who were at the service and to people who send letters of sympathy. A family member closest to the dead person usually writes and sends them. Expect to receive one in the mail a week or two after the burial.

If you are sending your condolence message with flowers, make sure that it gets to the bereaved family before the actual burial. There are appropriate blossoms that are specifically for interments. You can choose from half a dozen types of species and have them delivered to the funeral home with a short note.

You can get professionally made note-cards at a bookstore, from a craft store or on the internet. Before making a purchase, read the message inside to make sure it is appropriate. Most people add their own message with store bought funeral cards. You can do this too and make your message more personal and special.
